Locked keys in X5M - Comfort Access

It was my understanding that comfort access would prevent this from happening?


Went to play some tennis with my dad this evening, and after parking and locking the car, I put my car keys into my backpack then walked to the court.

Fast forward a couple hours, walking back to the car I managed to lock myself out after throwing my backpack in the trunk.

Here are the exact steps I took that caused this:

1) Walk up to rear of car with keys in backpack
2) Open trunk by hand, keys still in backpack (did not click "unlock")
3) Throw backpack into trunk
4) Press trunk close button on the trunk door
5) Trunk closes, no flashing lights, no audible locking beep
6) Drivers door is locked, in fact all doors are locked
7) Trunk is locked, will not open by hand. Keys are in backpack in trunk.
8) All doors are locked, trunk is locked, gas cap locked, red alarm light is flashing on the rearview mirror.


No battery issues with the keys at all, so I dont understand how this simple act could result in being locked out. Imagine luggage, purse, backpacks that contains the keys going into the trunk causing an immediate lock out.


In the future, is there any solution to this?
